The Fruita Police Department issued an advisory after reports, in Fruita and Grand Junction, about an Orem, Utah-based company, Security Networks or Vision Security LLC. Police said in a release, “They were contacted by our officers and were unable to explain what they sold or which company they were working for. Further information developed by officers was that this company has been linked to possible scam activity.” The individuals had no city license to sell and were told to cease activities, police said.
